A) After the Second World War, Americans feared the communists were trying to take over America. Americans believed that being communist was worse than committing murder. Just being suspected of being communist would mean that you were branded a traitor and even if you were associated with a communist, it would be considered as just as bad as being one yourself.
B) What made people so paranoid of communism was that news reporters confirmed that some communist countries had spies in the U.S. People suspected of being communist were blacklisted. This would destroy their professional reputation. Many suspected communist were actors and writers. They believed that through movies, communist writers were brainwashing Americans and putting communist propaganda into their heads.
